Perverse sheaves: introduction and examples.

Abstract: Perverse sheaves on topologically stratified spaces were introduced by Beilinson, Bernstein and Deligne as hearts of t-structures on the constructible derived category. In this talk, I will introduce the formalism of BBD and I will explain some important features of categories of perverse sheaves. I will then present some examples, including the case of perverse sheaves on the complex projective line stratified by $\mathbb C$ and a point with respect to different perversities.

On the global dimension of perverse sheaves.

Abstract: Any category of p-perverse sheaves on a topologically stratified space with finitely many strata, each with fundamental group, is a module category over a finite dimensional algebra. That is, one can associate to a topologically stratified space with finitely many strata, each with finite fundamental group, a family of finite dimensional algebras indexed by the perversity.
In this talk, we investigate the global dimension of such family of algebras by using HRS-tilting and silting theory.
